Lebanese team makes it to Microsoft competition

Filed under:

NEW DELHI: This team did not even make it to the second round of Microsofts world premier student technology competition Imagine Cup-2006 which ended here on Friday. But they are winners nevertheless.

For a team that calls itself AG-107 from Lebanon, just having made it to Agra (where they took part in Microsofts weeklong competition) despite the Israeli aggression is nothing short of sweet victory against the circumstances that the people are finding themselves in at present.

The team from Lebanon that took part in the Software Design category was among the over 60 teams selected from across the world to participate in the Imagine Cup under the theme, Imagine a world where technology enables us to live healthier lives.
